6 MONTHS! Can you believe that? I certainly can't! That means there are 4 months left (It's based on a 10 month period)! Reality is finally sinking in for the both of us that time is slowly running out, this definitely took awhile for Chris :). I still feel wonderful and am very thankful for that! I know there are many women that are not that fortunate. I still haven't put on too much weight, but I'll find out for sure at my check-up on Friday. It's just the basic appointment to measure my growth and hear Baby Z's heartbeat. The next one will be the lovely glucose text at 28 weeks.
** I forgot the Highlights for week 23's picture so I'm including them here!
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 23 Weeks
Size of baby: Baby Z is the size of an Papaya!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: ??? I need to weigh myself ???
Maternity Clothes: I now have a pair of maternity jeans & cords! I love them! Oh and I purchased a few pairs of leggings and shirts too!
Gender: BOY!
Movement: He's definitely active!
Sleep: Chris' snoring keeps me awake, but other then that I'm sleeping well.
What I miss: Nothing really this week.
Cravings: VANILLA MALTS (especially from Culver's!)
Symptoms: Acid reflux...grr!
Best Moment this week: Seeing all of my family over the Holidays!
Week 24 Stats:
As much as we love your company, take a break from the computer if your fingers feel numb or tingly. It's probably carpal tunnel syndrome, often brought on by pregnancy. Stretch your hands frequently to loosen them up. For significant symptoms, try wrist braces or splints at nighttime.
Baby's now the size of a papaya!
Baby's skin is becoming more opaque as the fat starts to pack on. And, thanks to the formation of small capillaries, her newly thick skin is taking on a fresh pink glow. Told you! Maybe they ran out of fruit ideas :)
Love,
Chris, Amber & Baby Z
